It had such limited usefulness ('password' only, only crypted-hashed
passwords in the file) that it doesn't make much sense to resurect it.

To directly address your point, I don't think this new feature will be
used enough to add the capability to the user admin commands.

I know you object, so I am going to ask for a vote.

OK, here is the request for vote. Do we want:

1) the old secondary passwords re-added
2) the new prefixing of the database name to the username when enabled
3) do nothing
